EnviroDude:because voter fraud NEVER happens if you listen to the FARK liberals

Yes. I'm sure that's the case here. I'm sure it couldn't possibly some election fraud shenanigans to offer of proof of widespread voter fraud. I mean, there is no possible way that 130% voter turnout could be the result of some sort of orchestrated effort. It was all done by individuals, acting of their own accord.

Or the headline is fiction:

Republicans reacted with statements calling for better election security after The Gadsden Times reported the number of voters registered in Uniontown equaled 130 percent of the town's 2010 population of 1,775. Nearly 81 percent of the town voted.

Does anyone else find the term "Black Belt" as used in this context extremely racist?

And no, 130% did not vote, 81% did, the 130% is the number of registered voters in relation to the last census which has a habit of under counting minorities. The high voter turnout is suspicious which is why they're looking into it but let's all jump to conclusions!

They caught it. The laws work. You can chase the voter fraud that you say isn't caught like you chase invisible people in the sky for their approval.

They caught it this time. How many times isn't it caught. Presenting ID is an easy way to thwart fraud.

I have no problem with Voter ID in principle but the problem is I don't trust YOU. All of the recent voting overhauls have been partisan attempts orchestrated by ALEC to disenfranchise traditionally Democratic voting blocks. The GOP is so insane at this point in history that I don't trust their attempts to modernize the process. Maybe later when they're less demonstrably uncompromising. Voting is too important.

Nonsense, they haven't all be orchestrated by ALEC, there are plenty of other right wing groups pushing disenfranchisement schemes.

Yeah, but is there an instance where the bill itself was not influenced or written by ALEC?

You didn't read the entire article. Allow me to summarize it for you: OMG! Black people are registering to vote! Run for your lives! Abandon the women and children! Every man for himself! Repeat: black people are registering to vote!

I've saved you some time and increased the efficiency of your day. You're welcome.

Wow someone read the article. Let's see how much Derp about how IDs would have prevented this continues.

Ennuipoet:Would this even be a story if the town were predominately white and Republican? I ask merely for information.

No. There are few if any districts in the country where the number of voters on the rolls don't exceed the actual number of voters - for reasons explained in TFA.This was selected because it is mostly black and Democratic, to get the maximum "Booga-Booga!" factor. At any rate, no illegal votes were cast, as is inevitably the case, and the righties need to quit whining for these unconstitutional laws. It makes them look like pussies who can't win without tilting the playing field.

How dare you imply the the RNC is trying to disenfranchise voters. You Libs are the real disenfranchisers for always pointing it out.

If I remember right, voter turnout percentage is based on the number of people registered the day of/before an election: So if EVERYONE registered votes, and then more people register *And* vote on election day, you go over 100%,since you have more people registered and voting than you did the day before the election.

If you can provide examples of cases of voter fraud, it would be a start.And lets have them be of the type that ID would stop.

There is no evidence of any actual fraud in Uniontown, let aloe of a type that photo ID would prevent, and the linked article gives reasonable explanations as to why the issue exists without involving any sort of fraud.

meat0918:Call me crazy, but the Republicans in Alabama want to restrict voting rights by requiring photo id, and low and behold, a town in a heavily Democratic voting area shows up some inconsistencies.

I'll be damned, but that's suspicious.

Again - in all voting districts, there are more voters "on the rolls" than actual voters - for reasons that would be obvious to a clever 10 year old.
